Nanopore technology allows direct sequencing of DNA and RNA with ultra-long read lengths, sensing of modified bases and real-time data analysis.
This is generating new insights including telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies, increased power to detect splice variants, single-molecule epigenetic analyses and consequently greater understanding of diversity within living systems.
We will bring together Norwich-based researchers who use nanopore sequencing technologies and those interested in discovering more about potential applications across a wide variety of species.
The event will feature a keynote speaker alongside talks from scientists across the Norwich Research Park. The event covers the application of nanopore sequencing in various protocols and systems including microbial, plant, animal and human health and disease.
Take a look at last year's event for an idea of topics discussed previously.
The second annual Norwich Nanopore Day will offer a forum for researchers across Norwich to discuss the latest developments and provide ample networking opportunities with other researchers to build a community of experts and initiate new collaborations.
As this event is focused on bringing together local expertise and experience, please only register if you are based at a Norwich institute or organisation.
Abstracts
We are offering the opportunity to present your research as a short talk, and abstracts should be submitted when you register.
We would particularly like to encourage PhD students and early career researchers to submit abstracts, we have reserved plenty of time and space in the schedule to hear from you all!
- The submission deadline for abstracts is 23.59 on Sunday August 17, 2025
- All abstracts must be submitted electronically as part of your registration. Submissions via email will not be accepted
- Abstract limits are 250 words (excluding title, authors and affiliations)
- Presenting author should be highlighted in bold
- Abstracts will be reviewed and presenting authors notified of the outcome within 2 weeks of submission closing.
This event is supported by Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Qiagen.
